INTERVIEW WITH PIERRE DUHAIME
WE OWE OUR SUCCESS TO THE INCREDIBLE TALENT AND DEDICATION OF OUR EMPLOYEES
HOW DID THE COMPANY PERFORM FINANCIALLY IN 2010? Our financial results for 2010 were excellent. Our backlog stood at $13 billion and we increased our net income to $437 million, 22% higher than in 2009. About 19% of our net income came from our infrastructure concession investments (ICI), which marks a definite shift in our business. ICI is now a substantial contributor to our net income. Our return on equity was 27%, our revenues remained strong at $6.3 billion, and our balance sheet was solid with cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 billion. Of that amount, $900 million is freehold cash we can use for strategic acquisitions and investments.
S N C - L AVA L I N
2010 ANNUAL REPORT
WHAT WERE SOME KEY MARKET DEVELOPMENTS IN 2010?
6
We saw significant growth in our public-private partnership (PPP) business. With the addition of the McGill University Hospital Centre and the Chinook Roads Partnership, we now have six PPPs in Canada, and we invested in our first PPP in India with a toll road concession in Andhra Pradesh.
Looking at the larger picture, developing countries are taking the lead in the global economy. They will soon account for more than half the world’s economic output. This marks a fundamental, longterm structural change in the world marketplace that should open up many opportunities for us. Accelerated growth in countries like China and India is driving the demand for commodities and boosting the economies in resource-rich regions, many of which are strong markets for us. In Latin America, in particular in 2010, we nearly doubled our local presence. We now have over 4,000 employees in the region.
WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN PRIORITIES? Safety is our top priority. We’re happy to report that our health and safety (H&S) performance in 2010 was very positive for all our indicators and significantly improved. We’ll continue to build on our H&S procedures and best practices. Equally important, we actively encourage and empower every employee to take the lead in spotting and correcting unsafe situations on the ground. Risk management is another key area we’ll be focussing on. Here too, we saw excellent results in 2010 with a 19% gross margin on our Packages projects. This reflects not only sound risk management practices, but also superb project delivery on the part of our employees. We are doing well, but managing risk is an ever-evolving process. Every new project brings its own challenges that help us refine our best practices. Acquisitions are an important part of our long-term growth plan. We’re selective about our choices in terms of price and expertise, but we’re always looking for opportunities. In 2010, we acquired nine companies, bringing a total of 1,230 new employees to our operations in Canada, Colombia, France and South Africa.

Recruitment and talent management are equally essential to our long-term growth. We welcomed Darleen Caron to the team as Executive Vice-President, Global Human Resources and member of the Office of the President. This is a new position we created to address the growing complexities of recruiting and managing talent on a global scale. Darleen has international experience in talent and leadership management, and we’re happy to have her on our team. Our WE CARE values are an ongoing priority. Look for our 2010 Sustainability Report to be published in Spring 2011 for an update on our WE CARE activities.
WHY DO YOU THINK SNC-LAVALIN HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL THESE LAST 100 YEARS? I think our resilience stems from a balance of experience and innovation. We have an incredibly talented and dedicated team, and our clients and Board of Directors constantly motivate us to surpass their expectations. Over the last 100 years, SNC-Lavalin has risen to countless challenges. Each time, it has turned hard lessons to its advantage and become stronger. We learn from experience but, as engineers and constructors, we know how important it is to adapt, innovate and keep moving forward. The combination of these qualities is a winning formula.
Overall, we expect 2011 to be another good year for SNC-Lavalin with good potential in all sectors. However, although we feel positive that the situation in Libya will be resolved, we prefer at this time to remain conservative in our outlook for this country in the short term.
S N C - L AVA L I N
With the price of oil back up at over $90 a barrel, we expect investment in oil and gas projects to pick up again. Copper prices have never been this high for this long and nickel and aluminum are making strong comebacks in the mining and metallurgy sector. We also see good opportunities in gold, iron ore and potash. The power market remains steady and, as the economy recovers, it will grow even stronger. We expect sustainable projects in the thermal and green power sectors to be especially active. Governments worldwide continue to refurbish ageing infrastructure and invest in new. We see PPP and ICI prospects in several regions, especially Canada, Europe and Latin America where we have a very strong presence. Our remote camp operations and maintenance support capabilities extend to mining and petroleum projects and, as those sectors recover, we can expect more opportunities in this field.

COMMENTARY
8
From its founding roots a century ago in the province of Quebec, SNC-Lavalin has grown into a global leader with thousands of projects in some 100 countries. The year 2010 was a continuation of that progress, and a reflection of an emerging new world order in which growth has shifted from developed to developing nations. Geographic diversification isn’t the only part of the story. SNC-Lavalin is one of very few engineering and construction companies capable of handling almost every kind of project; from mining to energy to urban rail transit, to roads, bridges, hospitals, buildings and environmental engineering, to name just a few. And recent years have seen strong growth of a revenue source that further distinguishes SNC-Lavalin from its competitors: infrastructure investments. The Board and its Committees continue to strive for leadership in corporate governance. In 2010, the Human Resources Committee oversaw adjustments to executive compensation that better align rewards with performance while enhancing longer-term focus and retention. In cooperation with management, the Audit Committee strengthened its focus on risk assessment and early examination of potentially problematic projects. The Health, Safety and
Environment Committee continued to foster a strong, proactive culture with a particular focus on visible safety leadership at all levels. Overall, the Board strives for governance leadership including integrity, disclosure and transparency. Once again, the Company was recognized for its leadership in this area. SNC-Lavalin ranked among the top 10 in the 2010 Globe and Mail Report on Business corporate governance rankings, and came in first in its category for corporate governance disclosure in the 2010 CICA Corporate Reporting Awards. One of the keys to successful corporate governance is the recruitment of top quality directors that bring together all of the needed backgrounds and skills. Continued growth created the need for a suitable international director. We were very pleased to announce the appointment of London-based Mike Parker, a person whose experience includes CEO of global industrial giant Dow Chemical. It’s often said that people are a company’s most important asset. That is especially true in the engineering and construction business. As the 24,000 employees based in over 35 countries prepare to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of this very special company, all members of the Board of Directors express our pride in their extraordinary accomplishments.

Once completed, we will operate and maintain the road until 2043. In Ontario, the Highway 407 toll road, near Toronto, reached a major milestone in 2010 when it welcomed its one millionth transponder customer, indicating a strong base of frequent, repeat customers. We also invested in a 189 kilometre toll road in Andhra Pradesh, India. In BC, May 31, 2010 marked the second anniversary of the opening of the William R. Bennett Bridge in Kelowna, one of only a few floating bridges in the world. The Canada Line, currently Canada’s only air-rail link system, celebrated its first year in service. The Canada Line has been recognized for numerous achievements including innovative engineering, system reliability, and project financing.
POWER & WATER Three financial transactions were completed in 2010. We sold our 10.07% equity interest in Valener Inc. and our 11.1% stake in Trencap Limited Partnership. In Alberta, we recently announced that we will acquire the remaining interest in AltaLink, increasing our ownership to 100%, subject to regulatory approval. Alberta’s largest electricity transmission provider, AltaLink has numerous replacement and upgrade projects underway. The year ahead looks promising as the Astoria II power plant in New York and the Fouka seawater desalination plant in Algeria are both scheduled to begin operations and start generating revenues in 2011.
Highway 407 in Toronto is SNC-Lavalin’s most successful and largest infrastructure concession. The company’s initial investment in the deal was nearly equal to the entire value of its shareholders’ equity.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for having established and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. They have evaluated disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting at the financial year end and have concluded that such controls and procedures are effective.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS To the shareholders of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. The accompanying summary consolidated financial statements, which comprise the summary balance sheets as at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the summary consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended are derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated March 4, 2011. The summary consolidated financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles applied in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. Reading the summary consolidated financial statements, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited consolidated financial statements of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SUMMARY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation of a summary of the audited consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the summary consolidated financial statements based on our procedures, which were conducted in accordance with Canadian Auditing Standard (CAS) 810, “Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements.”
